Xinjiang Guoxin Qitai power station

{{#badges:CoalSwarm|Navbar-Chinacoal}} Xinjiang Guoxin Qitai power station (新疆国信煤电能源公司准东发电厂) is a proposed 1,320-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China.

The project appears to have a different location and sponsor than the nearby Xinyou Qitai power station.

Background on Project

Xinjiang Guoxin Coal Power Company has proposed a power station of two units of 660 MW for Changji city. The environmental impact assessment was approved in 2014, although the power station was reported as under construction in 2013.

It was planned for operation in 2016, but unit 1 was not commissioned until January 2018.
